Abstract:
Lacombe is an outstanding example of good heritage management practice. Rare in the Alberta context, the City has been able to maintain a critical mass of heritage building stock while allowing for development and the natural evolution of the community. What is the key to Lacombe’s success? Consistency – via a heritage ethic and management practice that stretches back over 30 years. This presentation will examine the sustained success in Lacombe – starting early Alberta Main Street Project (1980s/1990s), we will continue through the Historic Places Initiative (2000s), and wrap up with the current Survey/Inventory updates. We will also celebrate some new Municipal Historic Resources – these heritage designations further highlight Lacombe’s Consistency and Success.
